In chapter 7 (Too Extreme for the Guinness Book of World Records) Walker mentions a research by David Dinges which seems kind of similar to what you described. I didn’t find a reference in the book, but I found this highly cited paper, which seems to me like the one he was referring:
The Cumulative Cost of Additional Wakefulness: Dose-Response Effects on Neurobehavioral Functions and Sleep Physiology From Chronic Sleep Restriction and Total Sleep Deprivation
Walker mentions a research by Gregory Belenky with almost identical results that was published around the same time. I found a highly cited paper which seems to me like the one he was referring:
Patterns of performance degradation and restoration during sleep restriction and subsequent recovery: a sleep dose‐response study
Walker has a sub-title “you do not know how sleep-deprived you are when you are sleep-deprived” in chapter 7, so you can guess what the researches above found.

TL;DR

Excellent, these really do like the studies that I remember reading. Thank you a lot!
I would be glad to send you $10 via PayPal if you want, since I’ve been looking for these for quite a while.
No thanks. Knowing I helped you out is exactly the right reward for me :)
